Don’t enter a relationship with love- Marriage counsellor

In a thought-provoking episode of the popular YouTube show Asetena Pa, Ghanaian marriage counsellor and life coach PV Jantuah Boateng Dadson shared a surprising perspective on relationships that has since sparked considerable discussion.

Dadson’s stance challenges traditional views on love in relationships, emphasizing that it should not be the sole foundation of a successful partnership.

During the episode, hosted by content creator Akoto Mansa, Dadson revealed his belief that relying solely on love in relationships can often lead to disappointment and breakdowns. “Love is not enough,” he stated firmly.

“Many people enter relationships believing that love is the glue that holds everything together. But in reality, love alone is rarely the solution to the complexities that couples face.”

Akoto Mansa, taken aback by Dadson’s assertions, countered by affirming that love is essential to any successful relationship.

“Love is the very essence of what holds partners together,” she argued. But Dadson quickly rebutted her viewpoint, stating that the idea of romantic love as the cornerstone of relationships is, in many cases, an illusion.

“Couples who are truly in love rarely argue, and when they do, they manage their differences well. In contrast, many people mistake fleeting emotions for love, which leads to dissatisfaction when the honeymoon phase ends,” he explained.

He went on to highlight how societal perceptions of love have evolved over the years, particularly in the context of modern relationships.

According to Dadson, the expectations placed on love often lead people to ignore critical aspects such as compatibility, emotional maturity, and shared values. These elements, he believes, are far more vital than a mere emotional connection.

“Instead of putting love first, I advise my clients to focus on understanding each other’s core values, emotional readiness, and long-term goals,” Dadson added. He noted that these factors are far more reliable in building a lasting, fulfilling partnership.
